I would not have us as favorites in any of the games, period. Without question. Uruguay, for me, is currently the best team in South America. I...
Renard took Zambia to its greatest performance since their plane crashed and killed their team 30 years ago when they won the AFCON under him in...
yeah, saw that quote the other day about offers outside of Europe, and I was purely wtf?!?! Pray he doesn't take any of those. Stay in Europe please.
He definitely seems fantastic there, the only thing I remember from the U20's is him getting the way of a goal bound shot in a quarterfinal loss...
The scheduling makes it easier than the more recent Olympics, a majority of the big 5 leagues kick off in Mid August, probably to accomodate the...
I wouldn't argue that, I just think its reasonable to argue that most World Cups these days except those hosted in Europe, we're seeing some non...
Signs are getting better in some ways with MLS. With investments in South American youth players rather than old Euro vets, and with young players...
In fairness, Japan choked in '18 (2-0 up on Belgium in the second half in '18 and found a way to lose, and in '22 they lost on penalties to a...
But I think its already changed so much and because we're on the outside looking in we don't catch it. Here's an example, I live in Northern...
Felt like it was mostly the '23 U20 team with a few players older than those guys, so not really 22 and 23 year olds, Id be curious but I'd guess...
But it also was a significantly better performance than anyone expected especially as an away game in France. It was nuts, even down 0-2 we had...
I'm kinda stunned. Wow. Lets be straight, the Copa America ends July 14th and our first match at the Olympics is the 24th. In fairness, we...
There wasn't much transfer between the U20 team that failed to qualify and the U23 team that did qualify in style for the Olympics, I think 2 or 3...
It also would've been a WC where Pulisic, McKennie and Adams at bare minimum, possibly Weah and Sargent make the squad too. A lot of guys who got...
certainly if the freddy of the U17 WC in '03 and U20 WC in '07 was the senior level Freddy. Good Lord, that is an interesting one.
It's like the NIT. I would've cared, but no, it wouldn't move the needle. Frings creates a game that likely we either win, or goes to extra time...
Never going to happen. How old are you? Were you around for that era? It was such a concentrated period of Baseball+Football+College...
On that last point, I'm very much with you. What the guys did in beating Colombia, tying Switzerland, going to South America and making the...
I'm torn, I think it would have been huge beating Brazil, but I also think they'd be, "what the hell is a confederations cup," is it like the NIT...
I'm more of the sort that I do hold it against him, but I also feel terrible that a guy who played the game for decades is remembered more for...
Its been weird watching Argentina. They've been largely --- at the U20 the last decade until just this most recent cycle, Uruguay has really been...
The goal that broke yet another deadlock with El Salvador in NL a year ago last month, the goal that broke an 80 minute up a man, squeaky bum time...
I wouldn't call it sitting so much as periodic resting, and sub off's. Pepi not only didn't get much in the way of starts (lol, 1, I believe) but...
Yeah, makes one wonder if all this sturm and drang is for not, and he's definitely Olympics bound. Or maybe both?
They actually gave Notts County some love, and some specific content down the stretch of this past season's doc. Pretty cool.
